Manchester City continue to struggle with injuries ahead of their Premier League game with Chelsea
Manchester City's injury woes continued with the news that Ruben Dias faces a spell on the sidelines.
It adds to a defensive crisis with Nathan Ake sidelined, Kyle Walker moving to AC Milan on loan and John Stones back but seemingly not fit enough to play from the start. It means Pep Guardiola could be forced with the prospect of throwing new signing Abdukodir Khusanov into the starting XI or asking Josko Gvardiol to play at centre half with Mathues Nunes and Rico Lewis in the full back positions.
Neither scenario is an ideal one and City remain without five senior players heading into a pivotal time of the year. Here's the latest from the City treatment room.What we know: Dias was replaced at half-time in Paris. Guardiola confirmed he asked to be replaced as he 'didn't feel good' and didn't feel like he could play in the second half. The City chief has subsequently confirmed the issue is an abductor problem and there is no timescale on his return.
